There is a positive energy
that emanates from what has become the country’s largest
international sporting event –
The Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon (SCMM). Business
barons, sports personalities, film stars, models and of course, your
regular Mumbaikar,
shed their inhibitions and participate in the one event that brings the
city together to run for a cause.
In the last few years,
crores of rupees have been raised for various charities through this
event. CCDT has participated in the Marathon for 2 years now and we
look forward to having you join Team CCDT in the next Mumbai Marathon.
In 2005, our fund raising
efforts raised Rs, 4,88,402 for CCDT. This amount helped initiate a
shelter for young boys living in Kamathipura (the largest red light
area in Mumbai). This year, we raised close to 9 lacs through this
event. These funds have been added to the corpus which will sustain
CCDT projects as well as contribute towards educational scholarships,
vocational training programmes and even residential hostels for
children and young people infected/affected by HIV/AIDS.
